I SHALL THINK ONLY OF PEACEFUL THINGS. ULTIMATELY, THIS MARRIAGE WAS PLANNED BY ME, AND OUR WEDDING NIGHT IS A PART OF THAT PLAN. I AM MENTALLY PREPARED FOR THIS. I'M SURE HE'LL FALL ASLEEP SOON ENOUGH. THIS IS NOTHING. NOTHING AT ALL... ...AREN'T YOU GOING TO DO IT? YOUR FACE... IT LOOKS LIKE YOU'RE ABOUT TO ENTER BATTLE. I'M NOT LAUGHING AT YOU, OF COURSE. IF YOU AREN'T LAUGHING AT ME, THEN HURRY UP AND DO YOUR JOB. YOU'RE TALKING LIKE A SLAVE DRIVER. I'M ONLY TRYING TO REMIND YOU OF YOUR DUTY, ESCALANTE. YOU'RE STILL CALLING ME "ESCALANTE" EVEN IN BED? ...IT'S JUST A HABIT. YOU'RE AN ESCALANTE TOO NOW, INÉS. SO IF YOU CALL ME BY THAT NAME, IT'LL BE HARD TO TELL WHETHER YOU'RE DOING IT WITH ME OR WITH MIGUEL. WHAT ON EARTH IS HE TALKING ABOUT...? ...IT'S PERFECTLY NORMAL SINCE HE'S A WELL-BUILT MAN, BUT I STILL DIDN'T EXPECT HIM TO BE THIS BIG... WHEN IT STARTS TO FEEL GOOD, YOU SHOULD CALL OUT MY NAME PROPERLY... ...SO EVERYONE OUTSIDE CAN HEAR YOU. ...NOT THE LIPS... RIGHT... YOU DID SAY THE LIPS WERE OFF-LIMITS. I DIDN'T SAY THAT TO MEAN... HNGH... YOU COULD JUST KISS ME EVERYWHERE ELSE... YOU DON'T LIKE IT? THEN, DO I HAVE TO KISS YOU FROM HEAD TO TOE TO SEE WHICH PLACES I'M NOT ALLOWED TO KISS? IT'S NOT THAT I DISLIKE IT... IT JUST... FEELS STRANGE. BUT I HAVEN'T EVEN DONE ANYTHING STRANGE YET. YOU... YOU CAN'T DO THINGS LIKE THIS, CÁRCEL. THINGS LIKE WHAT? ...I KNOW YOU'RE JUST... ...TRYING TO MAKE ME FEEL GOOD. ARE YOU SAYING I SHOULDN'T BE MAKING YOU FEEL GOOD? DON'T YOU LIKE FEELING GOOD? ...CÁRCEL, I... I'M NOT SOME PERVERT... THAT'S WHY I'M ASKING YOU. DO YOU LIKE IT OR NOT? WHY...? SO I CAN REMEMBER. I WON'T DO ANYTHING YOU DON'T LIKE. ...CÁRCEL. I APPRECIATE YOUR CONCERN, BUT I KNOW YOU NEVER WANTED THIS MARRIAGE... NOT THIS AGAIN. I WAS THE ONE WHO SENT THE MARRIAGE PROPOSAL. I EVEN MADE A SUDDEN DEMAND TO YOUR FATHER THAT HE HAND YOU OVER WITHIN TWO WEEKS, AND HE MADE SURE TO CURSE ME EVERY SINGLE DAY LEADING UP TO IT. IN THE END, I WANTED THIS MARRIAGE AS WELL. WHETHER THE TWO OF US LIKE EACH OTHER OR NOT, IT DOESN'T MATTER. THE FACT IS THAT YOU WANTED THIS MARRIAGE, AND I WANTED IT TOO. THAT IS THE REALITY OF OUR MATRIMONY. AND YOU'RE STILL TRYING YOUR HARDEST NOT TO ACCEPT IT... ...BECAUSE YOU HAVE A HABIT OF TRYING TO CONTROL ME... ...WITH THE EXCUSE THAT IT WAS YOU ALONE WHO WANTED THIS MARRIAGE. BUT I WANTED ALL OF YOU, INCLUDING YOUR BAD HABITS. AFTER ALL, I RATHER LIKE BAD WOMEN. ...I THINK YOU'RE MENTALLY READY FOR IT. MAY I CHECK? ...WHAT IF I SAY NO? IT'S TRUE THAT THIS IS ALL UNNECESSARY IF OUR ONLY OBJECTIVE IS TO GET YOU PREGNANT. ...I'M FINE WITH THAT. SO, ALL YOU WANT FROM YOUR HUSBAND IS FOR HIM TO REMOVE HIS CLOTHES... ...AND TAKE YOU LIKE AN ANIMAL? THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE TELLING ME TO DO RIGHT NOW. YOU WANT ME TO TAKE YOU AGAINST YOUR WILL... ...WITHOUT CONSIDERING YOUR FEELINGS AT ALL. YOU'RE ASKING ME TO TAKE WHAT I WANT FROM YOU AND LEAVE. I'VE ALREADY AGREED TO ALL OF THAT... JUST TELL ME YOU DON'T WANT ME BECAUSE YOU THINK I'M FILTHY. I WOULD FIND THIS EASIER TO ACCEPT IF YOU JUST SAID YOU WANTED TO MAKE IT QUICK... ...BECAUSE YOU'D RATHER NOT LIE WITH SOME USED RAG LIKE ME. YOUR BODY IS SO DAMNED PRISTINE... ...THAT EVEN IF THAT STRANGE MIND OF YOURS CAME UP WITH A CRAZY IDEA LIKE THAT, I WOULDN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY. IT ISN'T LIKE THAT. I... I WANT US TO GET ALONG. I JUST WANT US TO LIVE PEACEFULLY. THAT IS WHY I'M SAYING YOU CAN DO WHATEVER YOU WANT WITH ME... IF I COULDN'T COVER MY EARS, I AT LEAST WANTED TO COVER UP HER LIPS. BUT I HAD NO RIGHT TO KISS THOSE LIPS. I HAD NO RIGHT TO FEEL ANGRY, OR EVEN WANT TO KNOW HER HIDDEN PAST. THE GIRL WHO HAD CLOSED HERSELF OFF LAY WITH THE BOY WHO WAS THE ONE EXCEPTION IN HER LIFE. AND SOMETIMES, THE BOY PITIED THE GIRL AND WOULD SHOW INTEREST IN HER. THERE WAS A TIME WHEN YOU CAPTIVATED ME, AND I FELT THE SATISFACTION OF BELIEVING I MIGHT JUST BE YOUR WHOLE WORLD. RIGHT NOW, I CAN FEEL THAT STRANGE SATISFACTION CRUMBLING UNDERNEATH MY FEET. I ALWAYS KNEW THIS DAY WOULD COME, BUT I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S FINALLY HERE... IT FELT SO SURREAL YESTERDAY THAT I THOUGHT I WAS DREAMING. BUT NOW THAT I SEE YOU TWO SITTING TOGETHER LIKE THIS, I'M FINALLY STARTING TO BELIEVE THIS IS REAL LIFE... I FEEL LIKE THE HUGE BURDEN I'VE BEEN CARRYING WITH ME HAS FINALLY LIFTED... I'D WONDERED WHAT I'D DONE WRONG TO DESERVE SUCH SHAME... REALLY, INÉS, THIS WAS ALL I EVER WANTED FOR YOU, DEAR... I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU'VE FINALLY BECOME A WOMAN. TRULY, I WORRIED YOU'D BE STUCK WEARING THOSE HIDEOUS BLACK RAGS FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE AND END UP HAVING YOUR ENGAGEMENT CANCELED... THAT'S ENOUGH, OLGA. BUT BEING THAT YOU'RE THE DAUGHTER OF HOUSE VALEZTENA, YOU COULDN'T EXACTLY MARRY OUTSIDE OF THE GRANDES DE ORTEGA. OLGA. ALL I'M SAYING IS THAT IF SHE WAS GOING TO ENTER INTO SOME FRIVOLOUS MARRIAGE AND BRING SHAME TO THE VALEZTENA NAME, I WOULD'VE PREFERRED TO SEND HER TO A NUNNERY TO SPEND THE REST OF HER LIFE THERE. DON'T YOU AGREE, LORD CÁRCEL? I'M NOT SURE WHAT IT IS YOU WANT ME TO SAY. OH, GOSH, ARE YOU WORRIED THAT INÉS MIGHT BE UPSET BY MY WORDS? THIS GIRL HERE ALWAYS IGNORES HER MOTHER, SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY... IF YOU PLAN TO CONTINUE MAKING THESE COMMENTS IN THE FUTURE, I WILL HAVE TO FOLLOW YOUR DAUGHTER'S LEAD AND PRETEND NOT TO HEAR YOU AS WELL. ...WHAT DO YOU MEAN, "THESE COMMENTS"? ...CERTAINLY, YOU CAN'T MEAN THE THINGS I'M SAYING OUT OF CONCERN FOR YOUR WIFE. TRUE CONCERN STEMS FROM LOVE. ...IF YOU TRULY LOVED YOUR DAUGHTER, YOU WOULD BE MORE AFRAID OF HURTING HER... ...THAN HAVING YOUR WORDS IGNORED. MY WIFE HAS EARS, SO SHE CAN HEAR EVERYTHING YOU SAY. NOW THEN, WE HAVE A LONG JOURNEY AHEAD OF US TO CALZTELA. PLEASE FORGIVE US FOR NOT BEING ABLE TO STAY LONGER. ...CAL... CALZTELA?! ## See also - [WebtoonLib — The Broken Ring: This Marriage Will Fail Anyway #19: Chapter 18 R15 Version](/series/the-broken-ring-this-marriage-will-fail-anyway-douf3qpc/chapter-19-nddpgs) - for_series_detail: /llms-series/the-broken-ring-this-marriage-will-fail-anyway-douf3qpc ## Usage AI grounding / search / summarization.
